A JADE TONGUE AMULET IN THE FORM OF A CICADA, HAN DYNASTY A JADE TONGUE AMULET IN THE FORM OF A CICADA, HAN DYNASTY China, 206 BC to 220 AD. Of flattened form, skillfully modelled in the form of a stylized cicada with protruding eyes and elongated wings, decorated on both sides with incised details. The stone of pale creamy-white color with beige inclusions, as well as traces of calcification. Provenance: A private collection in France. Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age. Signs of weathering and erosion. Weight: 13.4 g Dimensions: Length 5.4 cm Cicada’s unusual long lifecycle as an insect has made it a popular subject in ancient Chinese jades, symbolizing rebirth and immortality. The Chinese believed that jade had the special power to preserve the body from natural decay after death. In the Han dynasty, the corpse’s nine orifices were plugged with jade. The cicada was placed on the tongue, plaques covered the eyes and plugs filled the nose and ears.

Compare a closely related jade funerary tongue amulet cicada in the collection of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
